3 Contingency plan Contingency plan = to take account of a possible future event or circumstance Contingency planning = is to model probable emergency disease situations and on the basis of this to plan and rehearse the optimal response mechanisms to the emergency that will allow the disease to be controlled and eradicated in the most rapid and cost-effective way

4 Contingency plan WHY? Accession to the EU? Provisions of EU legislation? The need of veterinary services for quick response of all levels and all services in the case of an outbreak

6 Contingency plan Components of Contingency plan Contingency plan Should not be very long document Should be clear With sufficient information to allow the authorities to decide on which policy to use for control and eradication of the disease, which can be enforced by law Manuals Operational manual for veterinarians Manual for emergency vaccination Manual for breeders Manual for hunters Diagnostic manual

25 Contingency plan Trainings All staff should be thoroughly trained in their roles, duties and responsibilities in the case of an outbreak More intensive training needed for key positions Training of back-up staff Trainings Refresh courses for veterinary staff on the disease diagnosis and control (clinical pictures, pathology, notification, ) Courses on sampling Courses for animal owners on notifiable diseases (when to report suspicion, ) Laboratory staff NRL, CRL Simulation exercises (procedures at NDCC, LDCC, )

26 Simulation exercise Simulation exercise and training programme as a part of CP Vital tool for preparing administrative and functional responses to emergencies Conducting exercises is an important component of planning processes that ensure that responses to emergency events are effective Real time simulation exercises Alert exercises

27 Simulation exercise Objectives of training programme virological, serological, epidemiological aspects of the disease measures on the control and eradication of the disease Objectives of simulation exercise To expose participants to new disease situations requring Rapid analysis of changing of the situation Decision making on practical issues related to the disease surveillance, suspicions, confirmation and eradication, including culling and disposal of carcasses Coordination of emergency measures at regional and national level

28 Simulation exercise Programme trainning programme (day I) field exercise demonstrated precautions to be taken during the suspicion implementation of epidemiological investigation sampling and submission of samples to the NRL coordination of activities between owner, vets, NRL, RO and HQ VARS work in groups CP, operational manual, forms to be completed, maps

29 Simulation exercise conclusions, evaluation, recommendation role of expert group in the context of epidemiological surveillance contracts forms (ready for use) equipment of LDCC information material (clinical disease, epidemiology of the disease, notification procedures and control measures) up-date of contingency plan

30 Simulation exercise alert exercise Avian Influenza (H5N1) in wild birds Protection (3 km) and surveillance (10 km) zones were established around the positive cases and all the necessary measures according to Commission Decision 2006/115/EC were applied High risk area was established Control of implemented measures

31 alert exercise CSF outbreaks in neighbouring TC protection and surveillance zones measures in line with the 2001/89/EC problems: transport of manure, slurry, across the border cleaning and disinfection human resources movements of animals

32 Simulation exercise simulation exercise on cases in wildlife population outbreaks in domestic pig population often related to CSF in wild boar procedures in game collection centres, procedures in wild boar pens, procedures in hunting areas publishing of manual for hunters up-date of contingency plan

33 Contingency plan Disease awarness Organisation of awareness exercises through lectures/presentations at national and local level Posters and leaflets at veterinary practices, offices informing animal owners about the CSF, biosecurity measures, Posters and leaflets at airports, ports and BIP informing passengers of the rules relating to the illegal import of meat Intensive mass-media campaings in the event of a disease outbreak This would involve information and instructions given via press conferences, press releases national TV and radio stations, newspaper local media Internet web pages

34 Contingency plan Conclusions When prepared, contingency plan should not be treated as a static document It should be regularly reviewed and updated When reviewing and updating contingency plan the following factors should be taken into account changing epidemiological situations, both within the country and externally new disease threats changes in livestock production systems and internal or export trade requirements changes in national legislation or in the structure or capabilities of official veterinary services experiences (both within the country and in neighbouring countries), results from training or simulation exercises and feedback from stakeholders and farmers

35 Contingency plan cooperation of all services is required regular training preparation of the service for rapid and efficient actions in the case of an outbreak
